[Comprehensive] Your wish, I will come true

"Yeah, long time no see, Natsume."

Natsume looked at Natori Monday in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Natori Monday was wearing a rare Tibetan kimono with a grand style.Seeing Natsume, he just smiled and said hello, not daring to make any big moves.

"Mr. Natori, this is..." There is no need to be so grand when filming, right?

And... Natsume looked around, but he didn't see Shikigami following Natori Monday.

"They weren't with me."

Natori Zhou subconsciously pushed above the bridge of his nose, and then belatedly remembered that he was not wearing glasses today.

"Why did Natsume pass this road? I remember that this place is far away from your school."

"Ah, this..." Natsume felt helpless, "Mr. April [-]st asked me to come here."

"Is that so, is it a wish again..." Resisting the movement of pushing the glasses again, Natori Yiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's better for Natsume to go back as soon as possible, this place is not very peaceful recently. "

"Ah, is it already this time?" Natori wanted to ask something, but Natori Yiyi glanced at the watch in his pocket, and didn't give Natsume a chance to speak at all.

"Then I'll go first. Remember to go back early."

Natori walked away gracefully on Monday, leaving only Natsume standing there with a confused face.

So is Mr. Natori in a hurry? He rarely sees Natori being in such a hurry but dressed so formally on Monday.

Natori had something urgent to do on Monday - if he was one step late, he would not be able to catch the cage car.

However, he just stepped on the cage cart at the last step——the shikigami of the Tsuchiyamen family, so he wouldn't stop because no one came.

There are many people who want to take this cage car.When he stepped into the cage car, he had already received several lines of scrutiny, as well as the sight of Chang Jingsi who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

That's a little bad.

Without a trace, he wrote down the seating order of this group of people, and made a quick and simple analysis of the current situation in his mind. Natori Yiyi nodded slightly, walked to the side and sat down silently.

The caged car is covered with soft velvet, and the tip of the nose is still lingering with a faint fragrance. The light inside the car is not bright but not too dark, which is just enough for people to see the surroundings clearly, and at the same time, it does not affect the environment too much. others.

Without glasses, Natori Yiyi couldn't see the handrails and the wood grain on the floor very clearly, but he could guess based on the touch alone. These things are probably expensive.

He smacked his lips and couldn't help sighing inwardly.As expected of the Tsuchiyamen family, they are still full of style, at least in this face, people can't find any faults.

The cushions were soft, but Natori Yiyi was sitting upright, not daring to relax at all - not only him, everyone in the car had a serious face, and they were doing it right, for fear of being looked at and losing their own face.

The people in this car are either the patriarch of a famous family like Jingji Chang, or they are quite famous like Monday Natori.If it weren't for the grand banquet held by Tu Yumen's family, they would not be able to save each other's face, how many of them would come dressed specially?

But any well-known exorcists and onmyojis are not arrogant.

What's more... the current Tsuchiyamen is just a superficial appearance.

Natori Monday closed his eyes, hiding the light in them.

After all, it is a family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and the inside has long been corrupted.The Tsuchimikado clan sticks to the so-called sorcerers left behind by Abe Seimei, stubbornly insists on the nobility of Onmyoji in the age of onmyoji decline, and despises demon extermination masters who "leave home halfway through".

However, it is very ridiculous that there has been no powerful onmyoji in the Tuyumen family for a long time—it is even said that there are very few people in the Tuyumen family who still have spiritual power. The spiritual power is low, not even as good as some wild demon exorcisers.

A few years ago, a family scandal happened to the Tuyumen family - although they tried their best to conceal it, there were still various gossip leaks.

The treasure of the Tsuchimikado family, which Abe Seimei personally left and told his descendants to seal and preserve, was stolen.

It is said to be theft, but it is just the last fig leaf of the Tsuchiyamen family. It is said that the person who took away the treasure broke into the restricted area of ​​the Tsuchiyamen family and took it openly.

And the Tuyumen clan didn't even have the ability to resist.

How ridiculous.

However, even with such a scandal, it can be said that it is tacit understanding among the big families, no matter how much they look down on the current Tuyumen clan, they have to pretend to attend this banquet.

As for what the Tsuchimikado family wants to do——

The exorcist raised the corners of his lips, his smile was full of malice and disdain.

— who cares.

****

Natori left in a hurry on Monday, leaving only Natsume with an inexplicable expression on his face.

However, there was no extra time left for him to stay in a daze.Thinking of the shopkeeper's arrangement, Natsume sighed, and slowly groped to continue to what the other party called "Firefly Forest".

——The devil knows where the "Firefly Forest" is. He asked all the little monsters along the way, and most of them didn't even know what it was.

【Ah--】

There seems to be a chuckle sounding behind him, the laughter is indifferent, as if it just leaked from the throat unintentionally, but it seems to contain the contempt of the supreme gods for the things in the world, and the indifference and mockery of the sad and ridiculous actions of human beings.

——That was something that Natsume himself didn't notice, and it flashed golden in his eyes.

April [-]st didn't tell him where Firefly Forest was, he just pointed him to a rough location. "If it was you, I would definitely find it." The other party said with a smile, and then he was thrown into this kind of place.

Teacher Cat is not there either.In fact, except for meals and evenings recently, Natsume hardly sees Mr. Kitty.

"Don't underestimate the information between monsters." Madara just left such a sentence, and then continued to disappear for most of the day.

Firefly Forest, even among monsters, can be regarded as a rumored place.

It is said that there is a powerful monster living in Yingying Forest—but it is not a cruel and violent person. Some monsters say she is gentle and pure, some say she is smart, and some say she is a wise old man. , Some say she is a strange child... But there is one thing that is common to all monsters who claim to have entered the Firefly Forest unintentionally.

No matter whether they are being bullied by other big monsters or hunted by demon extermination masters, as long as they enter the Forest of Firefly, that monster will heal their wounds and send them away silently.

What's even more amazing is that whenever the rescued monsters want to find the Firefly Forest again—whether they thank that adult or accompany that adult, no monster can find the Firefly Forest again.

The Firefly Forest——it is like a hidden place among monsters, it is something that countless monsters desperately want to pursue and witness in such a long life.

However, someone wants to destroy such a quiet place.

Isn't that right—Catwoman blinked, and the round pupils unique to cats instantly became slender, "The group of exorcists seem to be trying to trick her."

"They want to occupy the Firefly Forest."

If human beings don't know the quiet and untainted existence, it's okay. If they know it, the greed buried in human bones will turn into the most ferocious thing, destroying and plundering everything they want.

——However, the saddest thing is that this greed will never be satisfied.

This is something that Ichihara Yuko once saw very clearly, and it was something that April [-]st when he was young could not understand. He could only ask about the overwhelming stench emanating from those greedy and dirty people.And after he acted as the owner of the store for so long and met all kinds of people, he finally understood why Yuko Ichihara sometimes looked at human beings with that god-like gaze.

Natsume didn't know what he saw and thought on April [-]st. Although he was chased by monsters all year round, Natsume's physical fitness didn't seem to be much better. He accidentally tripped over a branch and fell to the ground hard. Sliding down the mountain.

"It hurts!"

There are thick fallen leaves piled up under the low slope, falling on it is not as painful as imagined, but the wounds on the arms and face drawn by the dwarf bushes are hot and painful under the stimulation of sand and dust.

"Eh……?"

The hot feeling on his face slowly subsided a little, and Natsume was about to get up and find a stream to wash the wound—it would be very troublesome if it got inflamed accidentally.

However, he just turned his head casually, only to find that this place is somewhat different from the place where he just rolled down.

It wasn't a complete change of place, and the surrounding trees and weeds didn't change much, but he just felt something was different.

I don’t know if it’s his illusion, there seems to be fluorescent green light spots floating around, the hay that has already withered and yellow seems to be revived again under the nourishment of such light spots, the air seems to become more fresh, and breaths can make people feel better. People are refreshed and clear-eyed.

"This is……"

A certain conjecture in my heart began to magnify, my heart beat, my breathing slowed down, for fear that what was in front of me was just a dream, and for fear that I would accidentally disturb a certain existence.

The withered grass made a slight sound, and a green figure slowly appeared in front of him over the tall trees.

[She is Hotaru no Mori. 】

It only takes one glance to confirm the identity of the visitor.

The person who came had forest green hair and glowing green eyes that seemed to be filled with stars. She was petite and climbed up the rock with green arabesques on her white kimono.

She looked at him, although those eyes were bright, they were not as agile and ignorant as a child's.Her eyes were calm, but without the slightest trace of vicissitudes.The other party looked like an old man who had calmed down in the long river of time, but there was no depressing and decadent aura of the old man, nor did he show desolation and loneliness from time to time like April [-]st.

She walked in front of Natsume, and the clogs on her feet slightly crushed the fallen leaves, making a small "rustling" sound.She stretched out her hand, please put it on Natsume's cheek, the green light on the hand lit up, the wound suddenly began to itch slightly, Natsume struggled subconsciously, but the other party held his face even harder, preventing him from moving.

"hello."

The green monster laughed, "I am Hotaru no Mori."

"You can also call me—"

"Firefly grass."
